Ability to change URLs/slugs of articles when cloning a category

I would like to request the ability to change or update the URLs or slugs of articles whenever I clone a category.
Currently, whenever a category is cloned, the URLs of the cloned articles that category will inherit the URLs of the originals but appended with "-1"
If it's possible to specify the prefix or suffix of the URL, i.e, "my-suffix-default-article-title" or "default-article-title-my-suffix" that would already be quite helpful.

Hi External Catshark
Thank you for sharing this suggestion.
Currently, when a category is cloned, the associated article URLs inherit the original slug and automatically append "-1" to maintain uniqueness. While this approach prevents URL conflicts, it can create additional manual effort for teams that use category cloning to manage product variants, versions, regions, or other replicated content structures.
This enhancement proposes providing greater control over URL generation during the category cloning process by allowing users to define a custom prefix or suffix that is automatically applied to the cloned article slugs. For example:
- my-suffix-default-article-title
- default-article-title-my-suffix
Such a capability would help maintain consistent URL structures, improve content management efficiency, and reduce the need for manual slug updates after cloning.
We will evaluate this request based on customer demand, usability impact, and technical feasibility, and will consider it for future roadmap discussions.
